The Display Energy Certificate (DEC) service evaluates the operational energy consumption of school buildings, providing an official record of energy performance based on actual usage data.
Initial verification of site access and collection of relevant building information, including floor plans, occupancy schedules, and energy consumption records, to facilitate an accurate assessment.
A visual inspection of the school premises is conducted to observe energy-using systems and operational practices, ensuring data completeness and identifying factors influencing energy consumption.
Analysis of collected energy data and operational information to assess actual energy performance, comparing usage against benchmarks and identifying areas of inefficiency.
Compilation of findings into a formal Display Energy Certificate report, detailing energy consumption, performance ratings, and any relevant observations or recommendations.
Presentation of the report includes a summary of limitations such as data accuracy constraints and the scope of the assessment, clarifying that the certificate reflects operational performance without guaranteeing compliance or remedial outcomes.
